@scoot0024, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If your HP Spectre x360 14 Convertible Laptop PC is showing a repair message and failing to boot from a USB, it might be encountering an issue related to the BIOS or the boot configuration. Here's a step-by-step guide to resolve this:

Check USB Drive:

• Ensure that the USB drive is properly created and formatted for booting.
• Verify the bootable USB drive using another computer to confirm it functions as intended.

BIOS Settings:

• Restart the laptop and enter the BIOS setup (typically by pressing F10 during boot-up).
• Check if the USB boot option is enabled.
• Set the USB drive as the first boot device in the boot sequence.

Update BIOS:

• Make sure the BIOS is updated to the latest version. You can download and install the latest BIOS update from HP's support website. For this model, you might need the HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) Version: F.07 Revision: A.

Recovery Tools:

• If the system does not boot into Windows, you may need to use Windows recovery tools.
• If you don’t have installation media, consider creating a new bootable USB using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool.

Troubleshooting Error Code:

• If the error mentions a missing or corrupt file such as File:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe, you might need to perform a system repair using a valid Windows installation media.

I hope this helps.
